Looks at the calendar.....

[Zod]

It's November 15. Officially mid-november and the Panthers are right in the thick of the playoff race with a head full of steamy excitement and a huge game coming up.

 

God damn it's been a while since we have had this.

The bad juju and aura of this team are different. It felt like the air was sucked out of the stadium after the NE game but the morning air is just different today.

My mock draft tabs on my work computer can take a back seat for a bit.

I think 10-7 is doable. 9-8 is more likely though.

This might just get you into the playoffs but it certainly keeps you in the conversation for the foreseeable future.

The way the defense is playing and with cmc back we can win the next 3. That would put us at 8-5 and I am sure we can find a W between the bucs twice, bills and saints.

Let's not lie to ourselves. That schedule ahead is pretty daunting. We've got games against WTF and Miami coming up that should be breezy wins, but both have had a bit of a resurgence in November. The rest of our opponents are a murderer's row out there. 

If we win half of our games coming up, it's going to be pretty amazing. If we win more, then we're playoff bound and could do some real damage. 

Yesterday was great and by God we needed that as a fanbase. Where we go from here is still a mystery, though. That ride, however, has gotten soooo much more interesting all of a sudden.

Welcome back Cam! Welcome back CMC!  Welcome back Panthers!

I don't even care. Football is fun and exciting again. I'm just going to enjoy the games we have left. I'll worry about the maybe playoffs later.

I want to see the coaches to continue dailing it in and up, to work with whatever they have on hand and not their vision. Learn about leadership and what great vets bring to the table.

Ruining other teams records is just a huge positive at this point. It's like being recesitated, I'm just glad to be alive because this team was dead a week ago.

We finally have a QB , CMC back, and a steady field goal kicker .  We have a top defense and maybe an o-line that can hold it together .  We have our mojo back ! Keep pounding !

[Snake]

We are a cusp team but that's definitely alright with me year two. We got to win some rough games though. I think our defense is up to the task though.

My dad was never a big Cam fan but even he had to admit yesterday what an impact bringing him back had on the team. The energy and excitement was night and day different.

Wouldn't it be nice if Washington was put on notice?

Hmmmmmmm. I wonder who used to do that? 

[Chaos]

I think it's time to take the mindset of our December schedule being unwinnable and throw it out the window.  I watched the Bills put up a grand total of 6 points against the Jags last week.  The Bucs seem to be extremely vulnerable right now, especially that defense, and our swagger is back.  Confidence on offense paired with our defense is a scary concept for the rest of the league.  I'm feeling a 10-7 finish.

we will need 9 wins to make the playoffs. losing the tie breakers to Min and Phi hurt. 

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

And we have a shot at a winning record. Let's do this!
